Netstal to unveil two new Elion models at K 2013

Netstal has revealed it is expanding its Elion range of injection moulding machines by launching two new models, which will be unveiled at K 2013 in October.

At the K Show in Dusseldorf, the manufacturer will be launching the Elion 4200 with hybrid drive concept and the all-electric version of the Elion 2200 (October 16 to 23, Hall 15, Stand B27/C24/C27/D24).

The company says the machines are suited to the manufacture of complex moulded parts for packaging, closures, medical technology and high-precision technical parts.

At K 2013, Netstal says it will demonstrate the manufacture of a HDPE 29/25 water cap on a new Elion 4200 in two seconds using a 96-cavity mould and the manufacture of a 1ml PP syringe cylinder in around 9.6 seconds on the new, all-electric Elion 2200.

 "At K 2013, Netstal will be presenting two new models of the successfully established Elion series, consequently underpinning its position as a market leader for fast and precise machines," said Dr Hans Ulrich Golz, CEO of Netstal and president of the injection molding technology segment of the KraussMaffei Group.
